Lap Of The Lake Relay

The Lap Of The Lake Relay held in Ballintotis on the morning of the 27th was without doubt one of the most enjoyable events running wise that I have attended all year. The atmosphere was electric and the craic was ninety one. There were serious runners mixing with fun runners and walkers all working together for a great cause. Well done to Sean Leahy and crew and to everyone involved.

Formed in 1966 Midleton Athletic Club is one of the few clubs in the Cork area that has both a juvenile section and a senior section as well. This blog will deal with the senior section. The senior section has a wide variety of members ranging from members in mid seventies to just out of juvenile. It is proud to boast that two of our members represented Ireland in the Olympic Games. Whilst most members nowadays seem to favour road running over the complete variety of distances from 3Km to marathon and beyond also X Country and track and field as well. There is an active social side to the club. Anyone wishing to join is welcome to try out for a session before committing to the club. The club trains on Mondays from 6pm in the Midleton College Cricket Field and on Wednesdays @ 6.30 we meet for indoor and outdoor training with Edmond O'Sullivan at Midleton Community Centre A Couch 2 5Km group also meet there on Wednesdays. Other group runs are organised amongst members during the week. New members are welcome anytime.
